Meh, enough faux pithy irony. I'm over it. Really the only the thing I'm interested in meting out a life worth living out here until I take off.
Music

Movies
Mostly of the international artsy sort. Also got a protracted interest in cult - exploitation and B grade horror. You know, just so I don't take myself too seriously.
Books
Bukowski, Jean Genet, Philip K Dick, Raymond Chandler, Tom Robbins, William Blake, David Berman, Oscar Wilde. Fade, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, Jean Cocteau. meh, I'm reasonably literate.
Heroes
Three months he regaled me of his body. Beating me for all he was worth. I dragged at his feet, more trampled on than a dust mop. Ever since he has gone free of his robberies, I keep remembering his gestures, so vivid they revealed him as cut out of a faceted crystal, gestures so vivid that you suspected they were all involuntary for it seems utterly impossible that they were born of ponderous reflection and decision.
Wow! There have been a profundity of major successes, around town. And what's more at different venues and styles of event. Here's a basic breakdown of the shows that SHANE & I do around Honolulu

Being as these are after all the times when the only people admitted to be serious are fools and bespeckled morons, I am without irony of a deeply trifling and immaterial sort. Ouais?
Who I'd like to meet: Well just about anybody who hasn't given up on things so much that they still come out meet people do good work and come out to shows, even if things aren't quite ideal.
I'd like to see a lot more fire under everybody's ass around here. Malaise is a unfortunate habit that could do with a rockette sized kickin' around these parts.
Also for the love of christ someone who can give me a run for my money in wrestling. Fucking ages.
OOOH OOH! Someone who can talk about books or movies without that condescending one-upsmanship crap. That'd be nice
thirtyninehotel's own Mark Chittom, aka the Godfather of Spacetrukin',

Joined by the Dropshadows on wigged out visuals. .
It's been too long Mr. Jackson. Well, the biggest saving grace going for the midwest would be the amazing shows that would otherwise not come to Hawaii.
This last year has been fun.
Black Francis (got his pick)
Sonic Youth (got a drum stick)
Metric (got stoned)
GOP (kissed the singer)
YaYaYa's (yeah)
Radiohead (got a noseblead)
Of Montreal (felt a little bi during the show)
Destroyer (drank coffee and beer with them, told them you and I would organize for their Hawaii shows)
Arcade Fire (I cried)
Flaming Lips (Wayne got my donkey suit)
New Pornographers (became a one-night-only-stand-in-roady, signed drumsticks)
Only thing, wish you could have been here.
One semester left, and I'll be home settling into a teaching carrier.
